After one year from the adoption of the 20 principles contained in the European pillar of social rights, in light of the Resolution recently adopted by the Council on The European Union Youth Strategy 2019-2027 and in the midst of the debate on the next programming period 2021-2027, there is an increasing need for dialogue between institutions, local and regional authorities, associations, citizens and experts active in the field of social policies.

Following the ENSA, General Assembly 2018 about the implementation of the European Pillar of Social Rights at local level held in Sweden-5,6,7/12/18, this event will offer the opportunity to address specifically some of the aspects related to youth policies, such as early school leaving, addiction, bullying, NEET, prevention of youth exclusion. The meeting will focus on the analysis of good practices and examples that address these challenges with integrated approaches and collaborative tools, through projects that have a high potential for transferability.

One of the objectives of this initiative is to enable those who deal with youth policies on a daily basis to meet, discuss and learn from each other. Thus a bottom up approach will help forming two discussions panels thanks to a call for proposals for interventions.

In addition, an interactive poster sessionwill allow promoters of (current, completed or future) projects to illustrate what has been done or planned in different fields of youth policies.

Following the success of the programme in recent years, the “Alpeuregio Summer School” took place in the premises of the joint representation of the European Region Tyrol – South Tyrol – Trentino from June 22 - July 2 for the fifth time. University graduates and students from Tyrol, South Tyrol, Trentino received advanced training on EU politics, hearing lectures by EU officials and engaging in lively debates.

The participants‘ feedback was very positive: Not only did these ten days give them the opportunity to experience European politics from up close. Apart from the deep insight into forms of organisation and decision-making processes of the European Union, also the exchange with like-minded students from neighbouring regions was perceived as an enriching and highly positive experience.
